Kenya is finding her rhythm again. 💚 She’s exploring farther into the woods, foraging on trees, and spending more time in the mud wallow. Her care team continues gentle footwork training to prepare her to have a radiograph taken. Read more: globalelephants.org/kenya-seeks-...

This isn’t a Republican or Democratic issue. What we need are decision-makers who truly understand what they are making decisions about. We must stop allowing politicians to pour water on our heads and convince us it is raining. www.kansascity.com/opinion/read...

Most of the photos and videos of Kenya we share highlight her magnificent ears. She is that quintessential impressive African elephant when she fully opens her ears. But this week’s Sunday Smile shows a sillier and not quite as regal view: her face up close, with her ears all the way back.

Autumn leaf analysis by Janet Davis. Nothing is wasted, the tree absorbs the sugary nutrients before it drops its leaves. Then the fallen leaves become habitat and over-wintering locations for moths, butterflies, & other critters. By spring, most leaves become part of the soil. Nature is amazing!

Top 10 Rally Reminders for #NoKingsDayOct18th

Pretty wild place ! 😱 Obviously the most secret of the large Alpine glaciers (rank=4th), this is the actual active front of Fiesch Glacier today (~1700 m asl)! 🧊🌊

I've hiked below some of these glaciers. Wildfires, drought, bark beetle, mass Sequoia deaths, and now this. It's heartbreaking to see the Sierra Nevada transformed by climate change within the brief span of my own human lifetime. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This order is so atrocious, it’s nearly unbelievable. Nothing has changed in terms of impacts of this destructive road, or the thousands of Alaskans and hundreds of thousands of Americans who are opposed to it.

It is listed as endangered, threatened or rare in the northeast. Mainly due to loss of habitat, from disappearing wetlands due to road or building construction. This in turn causes a fragmented population, making it harder for cross pollination between individuals. eattheplanet.org/the-story-of...

Lyndon B. Johnson's response to satire

For years, we’ve been sharing photos of some of the Asian elephants sporting fashionable accessories in the form of hay hats. Maia, and Guillermina are known to toss hay all over themselves (as did Lady back in her day) and wear their hay often and proudly.

For about 40 years at Ecoparque Mendoza, Kenya could only reach for trees outside her enclosure. 🌳 Now, at sanctuary, she’s surrounded by them—free to forage, snack, and enjoy as she pleases. A life once out of reach is finally hers. Unfortunately, it’s common for elephants in captivity

America was never supposed to be a nation built on amnesia. Our museums and parks exist to remind us of our trials—the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s only regimes eager to control the narrative that silence inconvenient truths to make themselves look better. www.levelman.com/national-par...

“If we continue to take from the ocean at the scale we presently are, and use the ocean as a dump site as we presently are, yes we’re putting the fish and the whales and the krill in Antarctica and the high seas at risk, but mostly, we are putting ourselves at risk.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/c...

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

The North Cascade Range is home to nearly 100 named glaciers, with 15 near Glacier Peak. the past five summers have eliminated exceptionally large volumes of ice. “The same thing's happening in New Zealand, in the Alps, in the Andes, Alaska, British Columbia,” www.kuow.org/stories/glac...?

Aletsch Glacier has lost 4.6 m of ice thickness at Konkordiaplatz (2800 m asl) during this summer 2025! 🧊😱 - It was 6 m during the absolute 2022 record year - 4.7 m in 2023 - 4 m in 2024 All years are now terrible... the new normal in the Alps! 🔥📈 Data by @matthias-huss.bsky.social @glamos.ch 1/

If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.
